Living abroad and need a Portuguese certificate? Or need a document from another country for a process in Portugal? We request the document from the issuing authority, check it and, when needed, arrange the certified translation and the apostille or legalization. You receive a document that is ready to use.

Frequently asked questions
Can you request documents on my behalf?
Yes, in most cases. Some documents require an authorisation or a power of attorney; we tell you exactly what is needed.
